+C37 Why can't I use different F90 and F77 compilers with Cactus?
+
+ Because Cactus does some automatic name mangling to allow you to call
+ Fortran routines from C and vice-versa, and different compilers will use
+ different conventions for the way that they generate routine names in
+ the object files. This means that you would only be able to use different
+ compilers for F90 and F77 if they used the same conventions. In
+ principle we could check to make sure that they are compatible, but for
+ now we require you to use the same compiler for both F77 and F90 code.
